1 Kings 17:1--19:21

And Elijah
<0452>
the Tishbite
<08664>_,
[who was] of the inhabitants
<08453>
of Gilead
<01568>_,
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Ahab
<0256>_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
liveth
<02416>_,
before
<06440>
whom I stand
<05975> (8804)_,
there shall not be dew
<02919>
nor rain
<04306>
these years
<08141>_,
but according
<06310>
to my word
<01697>_.
{Elijah: Heb. Elijahu: Gr. Elias}
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Get
<03212> (8798)
thee hence, and turn
<06437> (8804)
thee eastward
<06924>_,
and hide
<05641> (8738)
thyself by the brook
<05158>
Cherith
<03747>_,
that [is] before
<06440>
Jordan
<03383>_.
And it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink
<08354> (8799)
of the brook
<05158>_;
and I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
the ravens
<06158>
to feed
<03557> (8771)
thee there.
So he went
<03212> (8799)
and did
<06213> (8799)
according unto the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
for he went
<03212> (8799)
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
by the brook
<05158>
Cherith
<03747>_,
that [is] before
<06440>
Jordan
<03383>_.
And the ravens
<06158>
brought
<0935> (8688)
him bread
<03899>
and flesh
<01320>
in the morning
<01242>_,
and bread
<03899>
and flesh
<01320>
in the evening
<06153>_;
and he drank
<08354> (8799)
of the brook
<05158>_.
And it came to pass after
<07093>
a while
<03117>_,
that the brook
<05158>
dried up
<03001> (8799)_,
because there had been no rain
<01653>
in the land
<0776>_.
{after...: Heb. at the end of days}
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
get
<03212> (8798)
thee to Zarephath
<06886>_,
which [belongeth] to Zidon
<06721>_,
and dwell
<03427> (8804)
there: behold, I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
a widow
<0490>
woman
<0802>
there to sustain
<03557> (8771)
thee. {Zarephath: Gr. Sarepta}
So he arose
<06965> (8799)
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Zarephath
<06886>_.
And when he came
<0935> (8799)
to the gate
<06607>
of the city
<05892>_,
behold, the widow
<0490>
woman
<0802>
[was] there gathering
<07197> (8781)
of sticks
<06086>_:
and he called
<07121> (8799)
to her, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Fetch
<03947> (8798)
me, I pray thee, a little
<04592>
water
<04325>
in a vessel
<03627>_,
that I may drink
<08354> (8799)_.
And as she was going
<03212> (8799)
to fetch
<03947> (8800)
[it], he called
<07121> (8799)
to her, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Bring
<03947> (8798)
me, I pray thee, a morsel
<06595>
of bread
<03899>
in thine hand
<03027>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
liveth
<02416>_,
I have
<03426>
not a cake
<04580>_,
but an handful
<04393> <03709>
of meal
<07058>
in a barrel
<03537>_,
and a little
<04592>
oil
<08081>
in a cruse
<06835>_:
and, behold, I [am] gathering
<07197> (8781)
two
<08147>
sticks
<06086>_,
that I may go in
<0935> (8804)
and dress
<06213> (8804)
it for me and my son
<01121>_,
that we may eat
<0398> (8804)
it, and die
<04191> (8804)_.
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Fear
<03372> (8799)
not; go
<0935> (8798)
[and] do
<06213> (8798)
as thou hast said
<01697>_:
but make
<06213> (8798)
me thereof
<08033>
a little
<06996>
cake
<05692>
first
<07223>_,
and bring
<03318> (8689)
[it] unto me, and after
<0314>
make
<06213> (8799)
for thee and for thy son
<01121>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
The barrel
<03537>
of meal
<07058>
shall not waste
<03615> (8799)_,
neither shall the cruse
<06835>
of oil
<08081>
fail
<02637> (8799)_,
until the day
<03117>
[that] the LORD
<03068>
sendeth
<05414> (8800)
rain
<01653>
upon
<06440>
the earth
<0127>_.
{sendeth: Heb. giveth}
And she went
<03212> (8799)
and did
<06213> (8799)
according to the saying
<01697>
of Elijah
<0452>_:
and she, and he, and her house
<01004>_,
did eat
<0398> (8799)
[many] days
<03117>_.
{many...: or, a full year}
[And] the barrel
<03537>
of meal
<07058>
wasted
<03615> (8804)
not, neither did the cruse
<06835>
of oil
<08081>
fail
<02638>_,
according to the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he spake
<01696> (8765)
by
<03027>
Elijah
<0452>_.
{by: Heb. by the hand of}
And it came to pass after
<0310>
these things
<01697>_,
[that] the son
<01121>
of the woman
<0802>_,
the mistress
<01172>
of the house
<01004>_,
fell sick
<02470> (8804)_;
and his sickness
<02483>
was so
<03966>
sore
<02389>_,
that there was no breath
<05397>
left
<03498> (8738)
in him.
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto Elijah
<0452>_,
What have I to do with thee, O thou man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_?
art thou come
<0935> (8804)
unto me to call
<02142> (0)
my sin
<05771>
to remembrance
<02142> (8687)_,
and to slay
<04191> (8687)
my son
<01121>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Give
<05414> (8798)
me thy son
<01121>_.
And he took
<03947> (8799)
him out of her bosom
<02436>_,
and carried him up
<05927> (8686)
into a loft
<05944>_,
where he abode
<03427> (8802)_,
and laid
<07901> (8686)
him upon his own bed
<04296>_.
And he cried
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
hast thou also brought evil
<07489> (8689)
upon the widow
<0490>
with whom I sojourn
<01481> (8711)_,
by slaying
<04191> (8687)
her son
<01121>_?
And he stretched
<04058> (8709)
himself upon the child
<03206>
three
<07969>
times
<06471>_,
and cried
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
I pray thee, let this child's
<03206>
soul
<05315>
come
<07725> (0)
into him
<07130>
again
<07725> (8799)_.
{stretched: Heb. measured} {into...: Heb. into his inward parts}
And the LORD
<03068>
heard
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of Elijah
<0452>_;
and the soul
<05315>
of the child
<03206>
came
<07725> (0)
into him
<07130>
again
<07725> (8799)_,
and he revived
<02421> (8799)_.
And Elijah
<0452>
took
<03947> (8799)
the child
<03206>_,
and brought him down
<03381> (8686)
out of the chamber
<05944>
into the house
<01004>_,
and delivered
<05414> (8799)
him unto his mother
<0517>_:
and Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
See
<07200> (8798)_,
thy son
<01121>
liveth
<02416>_.
And the woman
<0802>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Elijah
<0452>_,
Now by this
<02088>
I know
<03045> (8804)
that thou [art] a man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
[and] that the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
in thy mouth
<06310>
[is] truth
<0571>_.
And it came to pass [after] many
<07227>
days
<03117>_,
that the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Elijah
<0452>
in the third
<07992>
year
<08141>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
shew
<07200> (8734)
thyself unto Ahab
<0256>_;
and I will send
<05414> (8799)
rain
<04306>
upon
<06440>
the earth
<0127>_.
And Elijah
<0452>
went
<03212> (8799)
to shew
<07200> (8736)
himself unto Ahab
<0256>_.
And [there was] a sore
<02389>
famine
<07458>
in Samaria
<08111>_.
And Ahab
<0256>
called
<07121> (8799)
Obadiah
<05662>_,
which [was] the governor of [his] house
<01004>_.
(Now Obadiah
<05662>
feared
<03373>
the LORD
<03068>
greatly
<03966>_:
{Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahu} {the governor...: Heb. over his house}
For it was [so], when Jezebel
<0348>
cut off
<03772> (8687)
the prophets
<05030>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that Obadiah
<05662>
took
<03947> (8799)
an hundred
<03967>
prophets
<05030>_,
and hid
<02244> (8686)
them by fifty
<0376> <02572>
in a cave
<04631>_,
and fed
<03557> (8773)
them with bread
<03899>
and water
<04325>.)
{Jezebel: Heb. Izebel}
And Ahab
<0256>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Obadiah
<05662>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
into the land
<0776>_,
unto all fountains
<04599>
of water
<04325>_,
and unto all brooks
<05158>_:
peradventure
<0194>
we may find
<04672> (8799)
grass
<02682>
to save
<02421> (8762)
the horses
<05483>
and mules
<06505>
alive
<02421> (8762)_,
that we lose
<03772> (8686)
not all the beasts
<0929>_.
{that...: Heb. that we cut not off ourselves from the beasts}
So they divided
<02505> (8762)
the land
<0776>
between them to pass throughout
<05674> (8800)
it: Ahab
<0256>
went
<01980> (8804)
one
<0259>
way
<01870>
by himself, and Obadiah
<05662>
went
<01980> (8804)
another
<0259>
way
<01870>
by himself.
And as Obadiah
<05662>
was in the way
<01870>_,
behold, Elijah
<0452>
met
<07125> (8800)
him: and he knew
<05234> (8686)
him, and fell
<05307> (8799)
on his face
<06440>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Art] thou that my lord
<0113>
Elijah
<0452>_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)
him, I [am]: go
<03212> (8798)_,
tell
<0559> (8798)
thy lord
<0113>_,
Behold, Elijah
<0452>
[is here].
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What have I sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
that thou wouldest deliver
<05414> (8802)
thy servant
<05650>
into the hand
<03027>
of Ahab
<0256>_,
to slay
<04191> (8687)
me?
[As] the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
liveth
<02416>_,
there is no
<03426>
nation
<01471>
or kingdom
<04467>_,
whither
<0834>
my lord
<0113>
hath not sent
<07971> (8804)
to seek
<01245> (8763)
thee: and when they said
<0559> (8804)_,
[He is] not [there]; he took an oath
<07650> (8689)
of the kingdom
<04467>
and nation
<01471>_,
that they found
<04672> (8799)
thee not.
And now thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
tell
<0559> (8798)
thy lord
<0113>_,
Behold, Elijah
<0452>
[is here].
And it shall come to pass, [as soon as] I am gone
<03212> (8799)
from thee, that the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall carry
<05375> (8799)
thee whither I know
<03045> (8799)
not; and [so] when I come
<0935> (8804)
and tell
<05046> (8687)
Ahab
<0256>_,
and he cannot find
<04672> (8799)
thee, he shall slay
<02026> (8804)
me: but I thy servant
<05650>
fear
<03372> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
from my youth
<05271>_.
Was it not told
<05046> (8717)
my lord
<0113>
what I did
<06213> (8804)
when Jezebel
<0348>
slew
<02026> (8800)
the prophets
<05030>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
how I hid
<02244> (8686)
an hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
prophets
<05030>
by fifty
<02572>
in a cave
<04631>_,
and fed
<03557> (8770)
them with bread
<03899>
and water
<04325>_?
And now thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
tell
<0559> (8798)
thy lord
<0113>_,
Behold, Elijah
<0452>
[is here]: and he shall slay
<02026> (8804)
me.
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
liveth
<02416>_,
before
<06440>
whom I stand
<05975> (8804)_,
I will surely shew
<07200> (8735)
myself unto him to day
<03117>_.
So Obadiah
<05662>
went
<03212> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
Ahab
<0256>_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
him: and Ahab
<0256>
went
<03212> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
Elijah
<0452>_.
And it came to pass, when Ahab
<0256>
saw
<07200> (8800)
Elijah
<0452>_,
that Ahab
<0256>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, [Art] thou he that troubleth
<05916> (8802)
Israel
<03478>_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
I have not troubled
<05916> (8804)
Israel
<03478>_;
but thou, and thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
in that ye have forsaken
<05800> (8800)
the commandments
<04687>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and thou hast followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>
Baalim
<01168>_.
Now therefore send
<07971> (8798)_,
[and] gather
<06908> (8798)
to me all Israel
<03478>
unto mount
<02022>
Carmel
<03760>_,
and the prophets
<05030>
of Baal
<01168>
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>_,
and the prophets
<05030>
of the groves
<0842>
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>_,
which eat
<0398> (8802)
at Jezebel's
<0348>
table
<07979>_.
So Ahab
<0256>
sent
<07971> (8799)
unto all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and gathered
<06908> (0)
the prophets
<05030>
together
<06908> (8799)
unto mount
<02022>
Carmel
<03760>_.
And Elijah
<0452>
came
<05066> (8799)
unto all the people
<05971>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
How long
<05921>
halt
<06452> (8802)
ye between two
<08147>
opinions
<05587>_?
if the LORD
<03068>
[be] God
<0430>_,
follow him: but if Baal
<01168>_,
[then] follow
<03212> (8798) <0310>
him. And the people
<05971>
answered
<06030> (8804)
him not a word
<01697>_.
{opinions: or, thoughts}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Elijah
<0452>
unto the people
<05971>_,
I, [even] I only, remain
<03498> (8738)
a prophet
<05030>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
but Baal's
<01168>
prophets
<05030>
[are] four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>
men
<0376>_.
Let them therefore give
<05414> (8799)
us two
<08147>
bullocks
<06499>_;
and let them choose
<0977> (8799)
one
<0259>
bullock
<06499>
for themselves, and cut it in pieces
<05408> (8762)_,
and lay
<07760> (8799)
[it] on wood
<06086>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
no fire
<0784>
[under]: and I will dress
<06213> (8799)
the other
<0259>
bullock
<06499>_,
and lay
<05414> (8804)
[it] on wood
<06086>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
no fire
<0784>
[under]:
And call
<07121> (8804)
ye on the name
<08034>
of your gods
<0430>_,
and I will call
<07121> (8799)
on the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and the God
<0430>
that answereth
<06030> (8799)
by fire
<0784>_,
let him be God
<0430>_.
And all the people
<05971>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
It is well
<02896>
spoken
<01697>_.
{It is...: Heb. The word is good}
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the prophets
<05030>
of Baal
<01168>_,
Choose
<0977> (8798)
you one
<0259>
bullock
<06499>
for yourselves, and dress
<06213> (8798)
[it] first
<07223>_;
for ye [are] many
<07227>_;
and call
<07121> (8798)
on the name
<08034>
of your gods
<0430>_,
but put
<07760> (8799)
no fire
<0784>
[under].
And they took
<03947> (8799)
the bullock
<06499>
which was given
<05414> (8804)
them, and they dressed
<06213> (8799)
[it], and called
<07121> (8799)
on the name
<08034>
of Baal
<01168>
from morning
<01242>
even until noon
<06672>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
O Baal
<01168>_,
hear
<06030> (8798)
us. But [there was] no
<0369>
voice
<06963>_,
nor any that answered
<06030> (8802)_.
And they leaped
<06452> (8762)
upon the altar
<04196>
which was made
<06213> (8804)_.
{hear: or, answer} {answered: or, heard} {leaped...: or, leaped up and down at the altar}
And it came to pass at noon
<06672>_,
that Elijah
<0452>
mocked
<02048> (8762)
them, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Cry
<07121> (8798)
aloud
<01419> <06963>_:
for he [is] a god
<0430>_;
either he is talking
<07879>_,
or he is pursuing
<07873>_,
or he is in a journey
<01870>_,
[or] peradventure
<0194>
he sleepeth
<03463>_,
and must be awaked
<03364> (8799)_.
{aloud: Heb. with a great voice} {he is talking: or, he meditateth} {is pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit}
And they cried
<07121> (8799)
aloud
<06963> <01419>_,
and cut
<01413> (8704)
themselves after their manner
<04941>
with knives
<02719>
and lancets
<07420>_,
till the blood
<01818>
gushed out
<08210> (8800)
upon them. {the blood...: Heb. poured out blood upon them}
And it came to pass, when midday
<06672>
was past
<05674> (8800)_,
and they prophesied
<05012> (8691)
until the [time] of the offering
<05927> (8800)
of the [evening] sacrifice
<04503>_,
that [there was] neither voice
<06963>_,
nor any to answer
<06030> (8802)_,
nor any that regarded
<07182>_.
{offering: Heb. ascending} {that regarded: Heb. attention}
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all the people
<05971>_,
Come near
<05066> (8798)
unto me. And all the people
<05971>
came near
<05066> (8799)
unto him. And he repaired
<07495> (8762)
the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>
[that was] broken down
<02040> (8803)_.
And Elijah
<0452>
took
<03947> (8799)
twelve
<08147> <06240>
stones
<068>_,
according to the number
<04557>
of the tribes
<07626>
of the sons
<01121>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
unto whom the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Israel
<03478>
shall be thy name
<08034>_:
And with the stones
<068>
he built
<01129> (8799)
an altar
<04196>
in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and he made
<06213> (8799)
a trench
<08585>
about
<05439>
the altar
<04196>_,
as great as would contain
<01004>
two measures
<05429>
of seed
<02233>_.
And he put
<06186> (0)
the wood
<06086>
in order
<06186> (8799)_,
and cut
<05408> (8762)
the bullock
<06499>
in pieces, and laid
<07760> (8799)
[him] on the wood
<06086>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Fill
<04390> (8798)
four
<0702>
barrels
<03537>
with water
<04325>_,
and pour
<03332> (8798)
[it] on the burnt sacrifice
<05930>_,
and on the wood
<06086>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Do [it] the second time
<08138> (8798)_.
And they did [it] the second time
<08138> (8799)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Do [it] the third time
<08027> (8761)_.
And they did [it] the third time
<08027> (8762)_.
And the water
<04325>
ran
<03212> (8799)
round about
<05439>
the altar
<04196>_;
and he filled
<04390> (8765)
the trench
<08585>
also with water
<04325>_.
{ran: Heb. went}
And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering
<05927> (8800)
of the [evening] sacrifice
<04503>_,
that Elijah
<0452>
the prophet
<05030>
came near
<05066> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Abraham
<085>_,
Isaac
<03327>_,
and of Israel
<03478>_,
let it be known
<03045> (8735)
this day
<03117>
that thou [art] God
<0430>
in Israel
<03478>_,
and [that] I [am] thy servant
<05650>_,
and [that] I have done
<06213> (8804)
all these things at thy word
<01697>_.
Hear
<06030> (8798)
me, O LORD
<03068>_,
hear
<06030> (8798)
me, that this people
<05971>
may know
<03045> (8799)
that thou [art] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_,
and [that] thou hast turned
<05437> (0)
their heart
<03820>
back
<05437> (8689)
again
<0322>_.
Then the fire
<0784>
of the LORD
<03068>
fell
<05307> (8799)_,
and consumed
<0398> (8799)
the burnt sacrifice
<05930>_,
and the wood
<06086>_,
and the stones
<068>_,
and the dust
<06083>_,
and licked up
<03897> (8765)
the water
<04325>
that [was] in the trench
<08585>_.
And when all the people
<05971>
saw
<07200> (8799)
[it], they fell
<05307> (8799)
on their faces
<06440>_:
and they said
<0559> (8799)_,
The LORD
<03068>_,
he [is] the God
<0430>_;
the LORD
<03068>_,
he [is] the God
<0430>_.
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Take
<08610> (8798)
the prophets
<05030>
of Baal
<01168>_;
let not one
<0376>
of them escape
<04422> (8735)_.
And they took
<08610> (8799)
them: and Elijah
<0452>
brought them down
<03381> (8686)
to the brook
<05158>
Kishon
<07028>_,
and slew
<07819> (8799)
them there. {Take: or, Apprehend}
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Ahab
<0256>_,
Get thee up
<05927> (8798)_,
eat
<0398> (8798)
and drink
<08354> (8798)_;
for [there is] a sound
<06963>
of abundance
<01995>
of rain
<01653>_.
{a sound...: or, a sound of a noise of rain}
So Ahab
<0256>
went up
<05927> (8799)
to eat
<0398> (8800)
and to drink
<08354> (8800)_.
And Elijah
<0452>
went up
<05927> (8804)
to the top
<07218>
of Carmel
<03760>_;
and he cast himself down
<01457> (8799)
upon the earth
<0776>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
his face
<06440>
between his knees
<01290>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
to his servant
<05288>_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)
now, look
<05027> (8685)
toward
<01870>
the sea
<03220>_.
And he went up
<05927> (8799)_,
and looked
<05027> (8686)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[There is] nothing
<03972>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go again
<07725> (8798)
seven
<07651>
times
<06471>_.
And it came to pass at the seventh time
<07637>_,
that he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, there ariseth
<05927> (8802)
a little
<06996>
cloud
<05645>
out of the sea
<03220>_,
like a man's
<0376>
hand
<03709>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)_,
say
<0559> (8798)
unto Ahab
<0256>_,
Prepare
<0631> (8798)
[thy chariot], and get thee down
<03381> (8798)_,
that the rain
<01653>
stop
<06113> (8799)
thee not. {Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind}
And it came to pass in the mean while
<03541>_,
that the heaven
<08064>
was black
<06937> (8694)
with clouds
<05645>
and wind
<07307>_,
and there was a great
<01419>
rain
<01653>_.
And Ahab
<0256>
rode
<07392> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Jezreel
<03157>_.
And the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was on Elijah
<0452>_;
and he girded up
<08151> (8762)
his loins
<04975>_,
and ran
<07323> (8799)
before
<06440>
Ahab
<0256>
to the entrance
<0935> (8800)
of Jezreel
<03157>_.
{to the...: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel}
And Ahab
<0256>
told
<05046> (8686)
Jezebel
<0348>
all that Elijah
<0452>
had done
<06213> (8804)_,
and withal how he had slain
<02026> (8804)
all the prophets
<05030>
with the sword
<02719>_.
Then Jezebel
<0348>
sent
<07971> (8799)
a messenger
<04397>
unto Elijah
<0452>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
So let the gods
<0430>
do
<06213> (8799)
[to me], and more
<03254> (8686)
also, if I make
<07760> (8799)
not thy life
<05315>
as the life
<05315>
of one
<0259>
of them by to morrow
<04279>
about this time
<06256>_.
And when he saw
<07200> (8799)
[that], he arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
for his life
<05315>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Beersheba
<0884>_,
which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_,
and left
<03240> (8686)
his servant
<05288>
there.
But he himself went
<01980> (8804)
a day's
<03117>
journey
<01870>
into the wilderness
<04057>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
and sat down
<03427> (8799)
under a
<0259>
juniper tree
<07574>_:
and he requested
<07592> (8799)
for himself
<05315>
that he might die
<04191> (8800)_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
It is enough
<07227>_;
now, O LORD
<03068>_,
take away
<03947> (8798)
my life
<05315>_;
for I [am] not better
<02896>
than my fathers
<01>_.
{for himself: Heb. for his life}
And as he lay
<07901> (8799)
and slept
<03462> (8799)
under a
<0259>
juniper tree
<07574>_,
behold, then an angel
<04397>
touched
<05060> (8802)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Arise
<06965> (8798)
[and] eat
<0398> (8798)_.
And he looked
<05027> (8686)_,
and, behold, [there was] a cake
<05692>
baken on the coals
<07529>_,
and a cruse
<06835>
of water
<04325>
at his head
<04763>_.
And he did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
and laid him down
<07901> (8799)
again
<07725> (8799)_.
{head: Heb. bolster}
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
came again
<07725> (8799)
the second time
<08145>_,
and touched
<05060> (8799)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)
[and] eat
<0398> (8798)_;
because the journey
<01870>
[is] too great
<07227>
for thee.
And he arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
in the strength
<03581>
of that meat
<0396>
forty
<0705>
days
<03117>
and forty
<0705>
nights
<03915>
unto Horeb
<02722>
the mount
<02022>
of God
<0430>_.
And he came
<0935> (8799)
thither unto a cave
<04631>_,
and lodged
<03885> (8799)
there; and, behold, the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
[came] to him, and he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah
<0452>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have been very
<07065> (8763)
jealous
<07065> (8765)
for the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_:
for the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
thy covenant
<01285>_,
thrown down
<02040> (8804)
thine altars
<04196>_,
and slain
<02026> (8804)
thy prophets
<05030>
with the sword
<02719>_;
and I, [even] I only, am left
<03498> (8735)_;
and they seek
<01245> (8762)
my life
<05315>_,
to take it away
<03947> (8800)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go forth
<03318> (8798)_,
and stand
<05975> (8804)
upon the mount
<02022>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
And, behold, the LORD
<03068>
passed by
<05674> (8802)_,
and a great
<01419>
and strong
<02389>
wind
<07307>
rent
<06561> (8764)
the mountains
<02022>_,
and brake in pieces
<07665> (8764)
the rocks
<05553>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_;
[but] the LORD
<03068>
[was] not in the wind
<07307>_:
and after
<0310>
the wind
<07307>
an earthquake
<07494>_;
[but] the LORD
<03068>
[was] not in the earthquake
<07494>_:
And after
<0310>
the earthquake
<07494>
a fire
<0784>_;
[but] the LORD
<03068>
[was] not in the fire
<0784>_:
and after
<0310>
the fire
<0784>
a still
<01827>
small
<01851>
voice
<06963>_.
And it was [so], when Elijah
<0452>
heard
<08085> (8800)
[it], that he wrapped
<03874> (8686)
his face
<06440>
in his mantle
<0155>_,
and went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
in the entering in
<06607>
of the cave
<04631>_.
And, behold, [there came] a voice
<06963>
unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
What doest thou here, Elijah
<0452>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have been very
<07065> (8763)
jealous
<07065> (8765)
for the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_:
because the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
thy covenant
<01285>_,
thrown down
<02040> (8804)
thine altars
<04196>_,
and slain
<02026> (8804)
thy prophets
<05030>
with the sword
<02719>_;
and I, [even] I only, am left
<03498> (8735)_;
and they seek
<01245> (8762)
my life
<05315>_,
to take it away
<03947> (8800)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)_,
return
<07725> (8798)
on thy way
<01870>
to the wilderness
<04057>
of Damascus
<01834>_:
and when thou comest
<0935> (8804)_,
anoint
<04886> (8804)
Hazael
<02371>
[to be] king
<04428>
over Syria
<0758>_:
And Jehu
<03058>
the son
<01121>
of Nimshi
<05250>
shalt thou anoint
<04886> (8799)
[to be] king
<04428>
over Israel
<03478>_:
and Elisha
<0477>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphat
<08202>
of Abelmeholah
<065>
shalt thou anoint
<04886> (8799)
[to be] prophet
<05030>
in thy room. {Elisha: Gr. Eliseus}
And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth
<04422> (8737)
the sword
<02719>
of Hazael
<02371>
shall Jehu
<03058>
slay
<04191> (8686)_:
and him that escapeth
<04422> (8737)
from the sword
<02719>
of Jehu
<03058>
shall Elisha
<0477>
slay
<04191> (8686)_.
Yet I have left
<07604> (8689)
[me] seven
<07651>
thousand
<0505>
in Israel
<03478>_,
all the knees
<01290>
which have not bowed
<03766> (8804)
unto Baal
<01168>_,
and every mouth
<06310>
which hath not kissed
<05401> (8804)
him. {I have...: or, I will leave}
So he departed
<03212> (8799)
thence, and found
<04672> (8799)
Elisha
<0477>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphat
<08202>_,
who [was] plowing
<02790> (8802)
[with] twelve
<08147> <06240>
yoke
<06776>
[of oxen] before
<06440>
him, and he with the twelfth
<08147> <06240>_:
and Elijah
<0452>
passed
<05674> (8799)
by him, and cast
<07993> (8686)
his mantle
<0155>
upon him.
And he left
<05800> (8799)
the oxen
<01241>_,
and ran
<07323> (8799)
after
<0310>
Elijah
<0452>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let me, I pray thee, kiss
<05401> (8799)
my father
<01>
and my mother
<0517>_,
and [then] I will follow
<03212> (8799) <0310>
thee. And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Go back
<03212> (8798)
again
<07725> (8798)_:
for what have I done
<06213> (8804)
to thee? {Go...: Heb. Go return}
And he returned back
<07725> (8799)
from him
<0310>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
a yoke
<06776>
of oxen
<01241>_,
and slew
<02076> (8799)
them, and boiled
<01310> (8765)
their flesh
<01320>
with the instruments
<03627>
of the oxen
<01241>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>_,
and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_.
Then he arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
Elijah
<0452>_,
and ministered
<08334> (8762)
unto him.
